  • id just buy sum splitfires, or the cheaper 1ns
    im pretty sure thats what im gonna do. from the responses on here iam certain thats what the problem is. and jason is that your car on youtube goin up a mountain or sumfin?

the engine light comes on about 20 mins after driving it. when i stop it starts to shutter then the light comes on and it goes away when i turn it off and back on. i think i might just buy one of those cord things that go in my computer and if it says error code 21 i can say that it is my coils. and he probably thinks i was talking about my coils coz i just had new springs put in by him.

im quite sure someone on page 1 posted an attachment of the instructions to check the codes yourself with a paperclip or piece of bridging wire. its super easy and free, it will tell you what wrong.

lol! i have no idea dude, i didnt post nuffin up so unless sum1 else did :P ... whats the address or whateva???

im currently having a similar problem, i drive a 99' n/a 34 auto

it started a while ago, i was driving and i noticed when i had stopped at a red light my car was idling at a lower revs and the car would feel like it was about to stall, i then lightly tapped on the gas and the revs dropped car almost stalled, all warning lights came up, revs went back to idle

someone told me my afm might be dirty, i gave it a bit of a clean and i didnt get that problem after it but it still seems to be idling at low revs, its kinda like when you hold a clutch just over friction point and you'd feel like you were about to stall

im thinking of changing my coils, but would it fix this problem ?

hmm it could be the afm try cleanin it with sum de-greaser, better 2 rule the cheap 1ns out 1st lol... r34s always do seem 2 blow their coil packs at bout 60 000km so prolly best 2 fix them up anyway

i just typed in r34s skylines for sale and it looked like urs it was sick.

oooooh omfg i wish that thing was mine!!! lol but its not :bunny: , cant say i fancy those god ugly wings sum of em have :) apart from that its bloody nice!

ive just come home from a 30min drive on freeways, almost home and i had to stop at a round about, whilst in tiptronic mode, i came to the round about, car into 1st, as i was rolling the car jumped and stalled, every other time it seems like its almost stalled but today it did. ive tried cleaning the AFM, or maybe im not cleaning it properly? can someone please tell me the how and what parts i should be cleaning

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
